Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs flank steak

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 medium tomatoes, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, deseeded and minced

Juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
 

Marinate the Flank Steak: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this marinade all over the flank steak and allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

    Prepare the Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to let the flavors meld together.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450-500°F (230-260°C). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

        Grill the Flank Steak: Once the grill is hot, place the marinated flank steak on the grates. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more well-done. Use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare).

          Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes on a cutting board, tented loosely with foil. This allows the juices to redistribute for a tender bite.

            Slice and Serve: Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain. Serve with a generous topping of the fresh tomato pepper salsa on the side or directly on top for a burst of flavor.

                - Presentation Tips: Arrange the sliced flank steak on a large platter and spoon the salsa liberally over the top. Garnish with additional cilantro for a pop of color and serve with lime wedges on the side.
